$4.14 - Mickey Factz

If you wanna feel rich

Just count the days you have, that money can’t buy

It’s Mickey

This is my second time talking on this beat

So it got too tight, was like Lebron with the Heat

I belong to the songs I record

Shit is deep as the waters in the pond or creek

I was born from the leak, ever week

I put my thoughts on the streets of the internet concrete

Walk with your feet as I take you on a voyage from the safety of the Cloisters

To the places down on where they daily eatin' oysters

Rappers full of snakes and I’m playing in the poison

There’s days I be saying that I hated that I joined in

Bunch of sensitive niggas that get offended when I mention that I’m better than

niggas

I’m a competitor nigga, how can I sit around and listen to these lyrics now

Shit I said a couple years ago I’m hearing now (wow)

Lemme simmer down, digress and tell you about my progress

3 sets of managers, 5 guys 1 girl, shit was such a process

Hard for me to digest, did a video with Marshall label

Had a conference, conflicts, sad to see Jive had to die next

Got moved to RCA and had to fire my reps

Hired LA Reid’s son and still couldn’t drop next

Did Mickey Mouse, it was a classic ass concept, complex

Plus it got praised by Complex

Number 1 prospect, Swizz tweeted the project

Fiasco called it a masterpiece, full of

Felt like Kevin Hart in Smart Tech

Yelling at the label for they wildness

That’s the day that I left

3rd day before my birthday, it was July 10th

Underground railroad, left with my masters

No album on the shelf though, 2 mixtapes in 2 weeks, hell yeah bro

These other niggas moving snail slow

Let’s go to the next year though, 20−13

It’s only nightmares in Mickey’s first dream

I sense envy, when did the city turn green I painted the town red

From an indigo scene I inspired folks

Just like when Biggie heard c.r.e.a.m

So for y’all to say you hate it

I feel the worst things, that’s like asking Cyclops would he really hurt Jean

I probably do this for life like Eddie Murphy, and that’s raw

I signed a deal in July, and that went caput

I rap but it feels like I’m trapped in a book (damn)

My words a latch with a hook, I’m sick of this

It’s hard for me for to heal like the back of a foot

I had a track with Yelawolf, but that wasn’t pushed

Then I’m added to a tour with my big brother Lu, I was happy to the core

It was only 3 shows wait, matter of fact 4, 1 got cancelled

From a storm that was Niagara Falls lost money from

What I had in store so Fiasco got a call and let him know the situation

And he said that he’ll add a couple more, part of me said that I could travel

to a mall

That’s family for sure, I had sold out crowds I was practicing my art

Spray painted on a canvas in New York and it sold for 300 like I had to go to

war, yep

That was my reward, but, but, but what about my feelings

I made money on the tour so where hell the digits

I called one man and told her I was quittin'

And I’m not bullshittin' I said good riddance

I’m tired of the critics, I’m tired of the business

I’m tired of under sold shows, I’m tired of the gimmicks

I went on Instagram and I was tired of the pictures

I’m tired of writing lyrics, when lyrics aren’t lyrics

To the spirits that’ll hear us, see I’m tired of being gifted

Text saying getting replied to I guess my friends thought I was suicidal

I just needed space, I was prideful

Thought about working at a job too

Then I thought, that’s remedial for my IQ

Rather look at life with my own birds eye view

Then I was mindful, got get it straight and doubt

If I keep rapping then I gotta make it count

I had 90,000 saved but in 20−14 I had 4.14 in the bank account

I had 4.14 in my bank account

I had 4.14 in my bank account

Now you see why I ain’t wanna rap with artists

Buy colors when it ain’t nothing to paint about

So I got on my knees this is what I pray about

Lord God my dreams and help me make it out (yeah)

Paying rent to my wallet

Negative account so I’m scarred to deposit

Running around town when I really should be jogging

And preserving all my energy instead I be willin'

I said this on the first rendition of the song but

Since you won’t hear it then I figured I should drive it

(Song Fades)

This song should be fading right now if you got it
